One day, then Fall Break ... Monarchs

We have one more day before Fall Break.  Hopefully, some of seniors will be visiting schools over fall break.

AP Biology - Tomorrow will be an "A" day.  In AP Bio, we will be redoing the photosynthesis lab we did on Wednesday when only a few people had read their lab.  In twenty years of teaching AP Biology, this is the first time we have had to redo a lab because most students could not complete it in a block period.  Not good!

Selected Topics - We are still working in our Earth Science unit.  We analyze the weather report each day and today, we worked on reading weather maps and drawing in isotherms and isobars.  We have one more week in earth science before moving on to astronomy.

Computer Science I - This class has started writing programs in qBASIC.  Tomorrow, we will work on READ/DATA statements.

Computer Science II - We are still writing programs in Scratch and have started Python.  Today, we looked at some LOGAL and pHET science simulations in preparation for our final group projects.  We have made good progress in this new class over the first nine-week period ...

While working outside after school, I saw a dozen Monarchs.  Six were on one butterfly bush.
